3D Navigation

Manipulating simulations in 3D requires navigating the 3D view in a comfortable way. The scene and all the contents have a fixed world reference frame (station reference) and the camera is moved to generate your desired point of view.

It is recommended to use a 3-button mouse to navigate in 3D. Alternatively, you can use a combination of Ctrl, Alt and Shift keys with a simple mouse left click perform Pan, Rotate or Zoom motions.
